1920
Chet Smith, former great sports-writer for the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette" but now retired, has a hideaway in Canada on the Georgian Bay, an area that Charlie andFrances McGoughran sometimes visit for a little fishing. At his retreat Chet says he spends much time baiting his hook. It is not quite clear whether he is catching fish or simply feeding them. Typical of most retirees Chet is unwinding slowly. He writes a weekly column for a "string of smaller papers" in his area and fills in the time-space gaps with some work on his second book—this one on golf. Chet claims he'll show up in Hanover one of these days—to see the Big Green perform against Princeton, we hope—and procure the victory football for burial behind the proper goal posts in Tigertown as a perpetual reminder of the presence and power of the Green.
From Council Bluffs, lowa, comes a message from Leo and Alice Ungar that we should not wait five years for another reunion. Leo and Alice not only attended the 50th but participated in the post-reunion gathering at Sherm Adams' Loon Mountain resort, then moved on to Quebec City for a pleasant three days. Thereafter they wended their way homeward to Council Bluffs—a sixteen-day sojourn, including that memorable weekend in Hanover. Leo, the idea of informal reunions more often in the Hanover —White Mountains focal area is spreading and may develop into reality ere long.
Not infrequent visitors to the campus are Erwin and Harriet Miller. In August when Alumni College convenes "Doc" and Harriet are to be found among the regular attendees. Doc says there are no papers to write; no hour or final exams; no grades to woriy about; no way to determine that one is ready to graduate; just the sheer joy of learning, exchanging points of view, reacting to stimulating teachers and discussants—education at its best. "Continuing Educa- tion" is on the rise—witness the very attractive New England Center for Continuing Education at Durham, N. H., and the Alumni Colleges of which Dartmouth's is outstanding. They demonstrate the flexibility of an educational system that rises to the needs created by the fast expanding and complicated fields of knowledge.
On more than one occasion since they attended their 50th reunion in Hanover in June Jim and Beulah Reber have been featured in the "Reading (Pa.) Eagle." The young news man who gave Jim and Beulah home-city recognition very cleverly wove into his story some of the highlights of Jim's career in Reading. From this vantage point it appears that quiet Jim should really be known as "Mr. Reading." Parenthetically, Jim, I should add that "Behind every good man stands a better woman."
Recently your secretary received a copy of "The South-Gator," monthly publication of the South Gate Community Association of Sarasota, Fla. The September 1970 issue introduced to the community a new secretary. Who do you think it might be? Correct you are. None other than Hazel Macomber! The Association is to be congratulated for its quick recognition of talent and its good judgment and speed in acquiring Hazel's services. Have fun, Hazel!
From Reunion Treasurer, Frank Moulton, comes a final reunion financial report. We operated "in the black." Including a $500 advance from Treasurer Al Frey to handle expenses in advance of collected taxes our receipts were (rounded numbers) $6654.00; our disbursements, $5,557.00, enabling us to return to Al the $500 advance and approximately $600.00 additional. Now that the financial part of reunion is closed it seems fitting to extend gratitude and thanks to those many members of the 1920 family who contributed to its success: first, to all of you who were able to come and contribute your good fellowship so generously; second, to those many unidentified scribes in various sections of the country who via letters urged attendance; third, to those generous Indians who provided firewater; and finally, to those who performed specific functions in making the June affair a successful venture. Particularly we should mention "Prexy" McGoughran, M.C.; Sherm Adams, our 50- year speaker; Carl Newton and Al Foley, our professional amateur entertainers; Phil Gross, registrar extraordinary; FrankMoulton, treasurer, who really enjoys this job; John Amsden, planner of a fine Memorial Service; the Directory Committee consisting of Lyon and Dorothy South-worth, Marianne Small, and Bud Weymouth who handled expertly the infor- mational resources placed in their hands; George and Hazel Macomber and Ev Hill whose sound ideas led us to berets and bas- kets; and to Dal Dalyrmple and Bill Carter who kept each other happy trying to keep everybody else happy by pulling together all the loose ends with the assistance of Reunions Coordinator David Orr '57 and his fine group of undergraduate helpers. And without mentioning names, a salute to those ladies who sustained and assisted their husbands throughout on this most pleasant occasion.
Thanks to Bill Farnham's alertness we learned that Mrs. Reuel G. Phillips' name was omitted from our Directory through a lack of address information in the Alumni Records office. Helen Porter Phillips (Mrs. Reuel G.) currently resides at South 922 Cowley Street, Spokane, Wash. Please note it in your directory. An error by the U. S. Postal Department can easily cause unin- tended difficulties along the entire line of communication. We are grateful that the error has been corrected.
